  2. While the fruit base simmers, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a mixing bowl.
  3. Cut cold butter into the dry mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Gradually stir in milk to form a sticky dough. Allow the dough to rest.
  5. Drop spoonfuls of the sticky dumpling dough over the simmering fruit mixture without lifting the lid.
